Synopsis

This book is an early 20th-century mining engineering textbook that focuses on gold, silver, and other valuable mineral deposits. The author's goal is to provide a scientific approach to mining, extracting, and analyzing useful ore by teaching how to identify and forecast potential mineral locations. This book covers theoretical aspects with practical applications, such as using geological principles, studying rock formations, and employing the latest machinery in the mining process. It instructs the reader in how to assess mines' economic viability by considering geological variables, subterranean conditions, and other factors that may influence efficiency. Moreover, it includes information on legal issues, such as the U.S. mining laws and how to file claims and secure land rights.
